Mrs. Zhou knew that the word "sex" was a knife to the head, and she was definitely making a principled mistake when she went to spend the night in a luxurious building. If she hadn't taught Zhou Ming a lesson when he made this mistake for the first time, he would have learned his mistake. If he changed it, if Yi Ming was addicted to this kind of mistake in the future and couldn't extricate himself, and lingered in that kind of shabby place all day long, his only son would be ruined.
Precisely because of this idea in her heart, between the two choices of protecting the calf and standing by, Mrs. Zhou decisively chose the latter. Even when Yi Ming was about to commit a crime and hit Laifu, she wanted to step forward and stop Yi Ming. Make the same mistake again and again.
As a result, Lin Ajiao stepped forward first and snatched away what Mrs. Zhou wanted to do.
Mrs. Zhou felt disappointed but also felt very relieved. After all, Lin Ajiao could do this, which meant that she still had a place for Yi Ming in her heart. As long as Yi Ming could change his past, this daughter-in-law could still stay.
After all, the daughter-in-law had already fallen out with her natal family before marrying into the Zhou family. Even if she left the Zhou family and wanted to return to her natal family, it would be very difficult for her.
Let's not talk about what the Lin family will say and what kind of attitude they will have when they see her coming home without any ambition. It will be difficult for her to get over it just because of her own self-esteem.
Seeing Lin Ajiao instinctively protecting Zhou Ming's dignity despite her anger, Mrs. Zhou felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. Thinking of her son's unsatisfactory look, she also felt that her son was not worthy of Lin. Gillian, if Gillian Lin takes this opportunity to separate from Zhou Ming, it may not be a bad thing.
After Lin Ajiao saw that Yi Ming was no longer a threat to Laifu, she immediately put her body away and stood aside, watching everything that happened in the yard with cold eyes. Although she was extremely disappointed with Yi Ming, she still wanted to know. What kind of response would there be to what Laifu said.
Seeing Zhou Yiming kneeling in the yard with a thud, Lin Ajiao's heart suddenly broke. She had some luck in her heart, thinking that what Laifu said just now was all hearsay, and she might not be able to do it accurately. As long as she accepted After Zhou Ming can give a reasonable explanation, she will be the first to choose to believe Zhou Ming. After all, the two of them are husband and wife. She still has this basic trust.
What she didn't expect was that Zhou Ming didn't put up a fierce fight or explanation at the first time. Instead, he knelt on the ground. This behavior actually fully proved that he had something evil in his heart. Otherwise, with his arrogance, His character would never kneel down in front of his father.
Lin Ajiao thought that Zhou Yiming would say something about admitting his mistake next, and then beg for everyone's forgiveness. She didn't want to forgive Zhou Ming, let alone listen to his words of begging for mercy, so she immediately planned to take her personal maid away to avoid She fell into the same unbearable situation later. After all, she really didn't want to know from Zhou Yiming's mouth the details of his going to Huamanlou to have fun.
But before Lin Ajiao greeted the little maid, she suddenly heard Zhou Yiming say that it was all a misunderstanding. This made her eyes light up and her heart was filled with hope, because she knew in her heart that Zhou Yiming was a character A very aloof person. This kind of person will not lie easily, nor will he easily give an explanation when others misunderstand him. So when he said this, it proves that what Laifu just said may have a hidden meaning. .
Lin Ajiao immediately gave up the idea of leaving and stood there, motionless, patiently waiting for Zhou Ming's final explanation.
Laifu had been frightened since the first time he saw Zhou Yiming. Even though he had hidden behind Mrs. Zhou and Lin Ajiao and had a temporary guarantee of safety, his mood did not relax at all, because he didn't know. What will Zhou Ming do next?
If his young master has been angry and clamoring to cause trouble for him, then he is not afraid, because this shows from the side that his young master must have done some shameful things, and he must have wanted to use this method when he became angry. Diverting everyone's attention is also scaring yourself to stop talking nonsense.
In fact, when he decided to tell the scandalous things about the young master, Laifu had already considered all the situations carefully. He knew that his master was a scholar and an upright gentleman. If he learned that his son had made such a mistake, he would Not only will he strictly discipline him, but he will also protect the safety of himself as the whistleblower. In addition, after the incident is over, he will even look down upon himself in his heart.
Originally, with his master's trump card in hand, Laifu could be confident and have peace of mind, but what he was afraid of was that another situation would happen. If Zhou Ming controlled his emotions after a brief period of anger, he would no longer cause trouble for himself. , but to produce favorable evidence to prove that he was wronged, then Laifu would be in big trouble.
Not only will he not get any benefits from this matter, but he will also completely offend Zhou Ming, the future master of the Zhou family.
Although his master might not punish him for the sake of his loyalty after finally knowing the truth, it is already a certainty that he deceived his master. In the days to come, his master will definitely not reuse him again, maybe. He will also look for opportunities to send himself away.
After thinking about these terrible consequences, Laifu broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was full of confidence before and thought that with his ability as a housekeeper, he could make a living anywhere, but now that he is facing a disaster, he has no confidence in his own ability. The future is less optimistic.
Although he is a bit clever and scheming, he has been working as a housekeeper in the Zhou family for more than ten years. He is very familiar with this place and every master. If he is suddenly kicked out, even if he can quickly It would be difficult for him to adapt to the job of housekeeper in other houses. After all, understanding a new environment requires time and energy. He is now old and doesn't know if he still has the patience.
And more importantly, housekeeping is a very competitive industry because of its generous salary and face in front of the owner. Without a reliable introduction, it is impossible for anyone to let a new person become a housekeeper. .
After all, the power of the housekeeper is too great. Once a person is appointed as a housekeeper, it is equivalent to the master entrusting his life and property to him. If he does not have full trust in this person, it is impossible for the master to hand over such an important position. give him.
Laifu also knew in his heart that other big families outside like the Zhou family had many servants in their own houses. Most of these people were born and raised in the master's family, so it was easier for them to get the favor of the master's family. Trust, when competing for the position of housekeeper, they have a greater advantage than outsiders.
After thinking for a moment, Laifu realized that if he was kicked out of the Zhou family in the future because of this incident, he might not only never be able to find a position as a housekeeper, but he might even starve to death on the streets.
After all, at his age, he can't carry it with his shoulders or lift it. If he goes to some big houses and becomes a housekeeper, he won't even be able to do manual labor.
Those huge families are not philanthropic, and there is no way they can support a freeloader like him. Even the last resort - to return to his hometown, is a dead end, because after leaving home in the early years and coming to the capital to seek life, Laifu never came back. Never went back.
At the beginning, he felt that he had not yet established himself as a person and was too embarrassed to go back to see his family. Later, when he became the butler and became famous, he felt that going home would not be of any benefit to him. Instead, he would be criticized by himself. Those poor relatives were a drag, so I didn't even go back.
Now there are not many relatives in my hometown. If I go back in poverty, I will only be disliked by others, and no one will take care of me at all.
After thinking about these life-and-death issues, Laifu was completely panicked. He regretted that he should not have been so reckless. After all, the young master's face was also very important to the Zhou family, and if the young master was really wronged, he would It's really a dead end.
But he also knew that even if he regretted it now, it would be of no use. After all, the road he chose would have to be walked on his knees.
Seeing Zhou Yiming saying that it was all a misunderstanding, Laifu realized the danger, so he immediately took advantage of his courage, stuck out half of his head, and pretended to say: "Master, now that things have come to this, stop making excuses and admit your mistakes." Bar!
Our master is selfless, don't try to deceive him with your sweet words. The mistake you made, big or small, is something that every man can make.
As long as you sincerely repent and admit your mistakes, I believe that both the master and the young mistress will forgive you. "
Seeing that Laifu had the guts to interrupt him, Zhou Yiming was furious: "Shut up! You have been a servant in my family for more than ten years, don't you understand the rules? I am talking to my father here, how can you interrupt? It’s my share!”
Normally, Laifu would not have the guts to talk to Zhou Ming, but this was a critical moment. He knew that he must not lose to Zhou Ming in terms of momentum, otherwise the authenticity of his words would be greatly compromised.
Moreover, he had a wrong estimate that Zhou Ming was the one who made the mistake. Even if he was the young master in the Zhou family, no one would stand on his side. Therefore, relying on these advantages, he openly retorted in front of everyone. : "Master, that's not what you said!
I am a current member of your family, but I consider myself a member of the Zhou family. If anything happens to the Zhou family, I should contribute.
If I don't regard myself as a family member, I can let the whole thing rot in my stomach after knowing about you. This way I can save your face and don't have to make you angry, and I don't have to bear it myself. any culpability.
Why wouldn't I do something like this that offers the best of both worlds? And the reason why I didn't choose to do this was because I was worried about the future of the Zhou family. "
